Recently I got curious about a sound of tubes produced based on the same technology and in some cases the same equipment, but in different places. One of the reviews was dedicated to EI 12ax7 produced on Telefunken’s equipment and the results were not equal at all.
This time I looked at Mullard’s 12ax7 production from UK, India & Canada. Now the process was supposed to be controlled by Mullard and technology should nave been used the same, so the results should be very similar – they are not.

As quite a few of you know, Sylvania 5751 JHS or GB with 3 micas is considered to be “the holy grail” of audio tubes. However, everybody is trying to purchase the JHS version with black plates or GB version with gray plates. They totally look cool with all these gold pins or gold letters and if you collecting them, definitely go for gold, but if you want to buy them to listen to them… I will try to help to save you some major bucks and get the same famous sound. There will be no compromises, just a way to get the same gold brand but for $20-25 a tube – I got them as low as $15!!! I will focus on gray plates – I actually prefer the sound of gray plates to black plates – it’s much creamier.
